Excellent - Women in Maths - a short online intro to five notable women mathematicians by the Science Museum, London.
Thankful yet heartbroken to learn about Maryam Mirzakhani, Iranian-born mathematician and first woman to win the Fields Medal in 2014 for "her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces', who died at just 40 due to breast cancer.

  Who is a mathematician? From women making complicated calculations as ‘computers’ to those managing household accounts, the stories of women in maths are countless but mostly obscured.
